Works perfectly! Perfect for HDMI 2.1 functionality on Xbox One X!

If you're looking for a great value HDMI 2.1 cable, look no further. I tested this cable on my Xbox One X and got 1440p at 120Hz with HDR, VRR, ALLM, etc. all included on my new 2019 LG SM9000PUA 55" Nano Cell 4K TV with HDMI 2.1. Both devices connected must be HDMI 2.1 compatible for the new features to work, but this cable is also backwards compatible with older HDMI devices!I've really enjoyed playing a lot of games on my Xbox One X with HDMI 2.1 VRR, which works great.like Freesync 2, but it's a separate standard that doesn't directly communicate with Freesync GPUs over HDMI at the time of writing - even Xbox games, which are known to drop frames frequently at up to 45fps, are at no longer noticeable when the function is activated! This cable is recommended for anyone buying an Xbox One X with a new HDMI 2.1 certified TV from LG, Samsung or possibly Sony! Remember that Xbox One X n It doesn't yet support full 4K 120Hz output via HDMI 2.1, but in the meantime any games that run at native resolutions above 1440p will simply be upsampled to 1440p for you. Or you can simply lower the refresh rate to 60Hz at 4K resolution if you don't mind the slightly higher input lag associated with longer refresh cycles. So, yes, I am definitely happy with this purchase and have no hesitation in recommending it!
